Presolicitation notice of Next Generation Delivery Service-2 (NGDS-2)

Description

This is a presolicitation notice for U.S. Transportation Command’s (USTRANSCOM) upcoming requirement to procure small package delivery service.

The Contractor shall provide international and domestic commercial express package door-to-door delivery service for the United States (U.S.) Federal Government and Cost Reimbursable Contractors.   International shipments may weigh up to and include 300 lbs.  Domestic shipments may weigh up to and include 150 lbs. within the Continental United States (CONUS) and up to and include 300 lbs. between CONUS and Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and within Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.  Both international and domestic service require time-definite, door-to-door pick-up and delivery, transportation, timely and accurate intransit visibility (ITV), and customs clearance processing (if applicable).

The period of performance will consist of one four-year base period effective 1 October 2022 through 30 September 2026 with one four-year option period effective 1 October 2026 through 30 September 2030 and an additional six-month option period to extend services 1 October 2030 through 31 March 2031, if necessary.

To receive an award under the NGDS acquisition, the prime contractor will be required to participate in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program at time of proposal submittal and maintain CRAF status throughout the duration of the contract.   A class Justification and Approval (J&A) document encompassing this program, which authorizes other than full and open competition, was approved on 22 October 2021.  All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.

It is the Government’s intent to award approximately up to five Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for International Transportation Services and approximately up to five IDIQ contracts for Domestic Transportation Services to provide flexibility of choice and service coverage.  The Government reserves the right to award more or fewer IDIQ contracts in each service segment if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.  Offerors who propose on and receive awards in both service segments (i.e., International and Domestic Transportation Services) will be awarded only one IDIQ contract which encompasses the International and Domestic Transportation Service requirements.
